Reminder: NYMEX Products on the CME Market Data Platform  
Since the introduction of NYMEX futures and spreads on the CME Globex platform, market data messaging rates on the CME Market Data Platform NYMEX channel (20) have steadily increased, recently reaching peaks greater than 3 mbps. To better manage bandwidth utilization, CME is leveraging the scalability of the CME Market Data Platform and introducing three new channels for NYMEX and COMEX ® products. There is no change to the current NYMEX channel (20) at this time; however, it will eventually be eliminated.

Complete information on the three new NYMEX and COMEX channels on the CME Market Data Platform, including the products assigned to each channel, is available online.

The new CME Market Data Platform channels will be available in the certification environment this Wednesday, February 7, and in the production environment Sunday, February 25.
